Then: On July 4, 1976, the Bock family celebrated the Bicentennial by taking a professional portrait in Plattsburgh, N.Y. They are (front row, from left) Bonnie, mom Virginia and Brenda, and (back row) Sheri, George Bock II, dad George and Melanie. Note young George's powder-blue jacket.

Now-ish: In Denver 26 years later, they re-created the original, right down to George's powder-blue jacket. Yes, it's the same one, according to Sheri, who lives in San Antonio. Virginia Bock died four years ago, while George Bock recently celebrated his 98th birthday.
